Foraging for Fruit

What is the difference between Breyers Pure Fruit Bars, Tropicana Real Fruit Bars, and Dreyer's Fruit Bars?
 
You would never know from the names.
 
It turns out that most Breyers have more sugar than fruit, while most Tropicanas have more fruit or juice than sugar.  As for Dreyer's it depends on the flavor: Cherry, Grape, and Strawberry have more fruit than sugar, while Wildberry, Lime, Tangerine and Lemonade have more sugar than fruit or juice.
 
You can save 30 to 50 calories with a non sugar added bar. Tropicana Real Fruit No Sugar Added is the only line that has no acesulfame potassium, the poorly tested artificial swetener. Each bar has 20 calories.
